Although not affiliated with Cambridge University, ARBC have rowed in the Lent and May Bumps since the 1980s as a guest club.

CCAT first put a men's crew on in 1988 in both events, and rose quickly to lie in the middle of the 2nd division in both sets of bumps races, although recently have slipped into the lower half.

ARBC crews also participate in other races and regattas throughout the year; those off the Cam include Bedford, Peterborough, and London.

A similar line-up finished 97th out of 274 (including several from abroad) in the Women's (Eights) Head of the River Race that year.

In 2014 the women's crew won Blades at the May Bumps, bumping Clare Hall, Fitzwilliam II, First & Third II and Newnham III.
